VIM

Install Vim

I prefer tools which can be used with terminal, so install vim from source is the perfect way for me, and it's also the reason why I don't use MacVim.

• Get a copy of source code from https://vim.googlecode.com/hg/, before that please make sure you have "hg" installed

  $> hg clone https://vim.googlecode.com/hg/
  

• Installation with huge set of features

  $> ./configure --prefix={dir\_to\_install} --with-features=huge --enable-rubyinterp --enable-pythoninterp --enable-python3interp --enable-perlinterp --enable-cscope  
  $> make  
  $> make install  
  

Install Plugins

There is a shell script which you can use to finish the installation of vim plugins in this repository and you can find it here vim/install.sh

Notice: in this repository I use , as leader key, so don't be suprised when you see a lot of , in the hot key of the following usage example

• Text Search
  Tools: Ag https://github.com/rking/ag.vim
  Usage:
  , + a search text under the current workspace
  , + s search the current word where the cursor is for python files

• File Search
  Tools:
  ctrp https://github.com/kien/ctrlp.vim
  personaly I like ctrp more than command-t, ctrp is better than command-t in performance and search result Usage:
  Ctrl + p fuzz search for files by name
  Ctrl + c quit ctrlp

• File Navigation
  Tools:
  NerdTree https://github.com/scrooloose/nerdtree
  Minbuff https://github.com/fholgado/minibufexpl.vim
  Usage:
  , + t open NerdTree sidebar
  , + f open NerdTree sidebar and find the current file's location
  b + number switch from different file from mimbuff

• Code Exploring
  Tools:
  ropevim https://github.com/python-rope/ropevim
  tlib https://github.com/tomtom/tlib_vim
  tagbar https://github.com/majutsushi/tagbar
  Usage:
  , + g following python code's definition
  Ctrl + o back to the last cursor position during code exploring
  Ctrl + t move forward to the last cursor position during code exploring
  f3 Open/Close right sidebar for code structure

• Code Completion
  Tools: ropevim
  Usage:
  Code completion have to be under insert mode and by using rope you could apply completion
  in python code
  Ctrl + x Ctrl + o active auto completion for python code
  Ctrl + n active auto completion for any code (not very intelligence)

• Status Line
  Tools:
  ariline https://github.com/bling/vim-airline
  fancy status line tools which can show file type, cursor coordinates, encode type and etc

• Code Snippets
  Tools:
  vim-snippets https://github.com/honza/vim-snippets
  Usage:
  when you type some keyword following with tab you can automatically bring out the code snippets
  for example if you type ifmain and then following with a tab in a python file it will bring out the following code

  if __name__ == '__main__':
      main()
  

  type pdb with a following tab

  import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
  

  there are a lot other hot keys which are quite useful accross different lanuages and most
  importantly you could be very productive

• YAML
  Tools:
  vim-yaml https://github.com/stephpy/vim-yaml
  vim's built-in YAML support is almost useless, it's super slow so this plugin can make a difference

Install Formatters

Install formatters could let you unlock auto formatting your code with hot key + r

npm install -g prettier
# sort python imports
pip install isort
# python code formatter
pip install black

Tips

• f7 Copy current file path to system register
• f2 Open/Close preview window
• Ctrl + h move cusor to the left window
• Ctrl + l move cusor to the right window
• Ctrl + i move cusor to the window upside
• Ctrl + k move cusor to the window downside
• :vsp split window vertically
• Ctrl + z bring vim process to background
• fg bring back background process this is a terminal command will be useful with Ctrl + z
• !command_line % execute command line
  for example use :!git blame % to blame the current file with git
• shared register with system register
  this means the text you copy from vim can been pasted to other program and the oppsite is also true
• :qa quit vim
